I had 6 pretty little quail in the freezer and decided to make an Asian marinade and grill them. Good decision 🙂

It only takes about 15 minutes to grill these succulent little babies.

The Vietnamese lady in the market had some garden fresh baby bok choy. I simply, stir fried them with garlic, ginger and peanut oil.

Yesterday, just one day after I ordered it, my Emile Henry tarte tatin pan arrived. The serving plate portion arrived broken and cracked, as if someone had kicked it onto the truck 😦 So disappointing. But that’s why I always like to order from Amazon. fr, .uk or .com, because when something like this happens, they immediately send you a replacement and give you 30 days to return the damaged item. No worries 🙂

Grilled Quail

6 quail, cleaned

1 small bunch cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 tbsp sesame seed oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 inch ginger, minced

3 tbsp sweet chili sauce

Mix together the cilantro, lime juice, oil, garlic, ginger and chili sauce. With kitchen shears, cut the quail up the back and flatten the breast with the palm of your hand. Put the quail inside of a zip lock, pour the sauce over and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Grill, basting with the leftover marinade for about 15-20 minutes.

My parents would love this!! Even more in a grill 😉
It’s not my favourite bird 😛 I love “bone dishes”, but the quail is so small, a little difficult to eat 😛

I also bought my tartin set of Emile Henry in Amazon! It’s a pity that you are going to wait a little, but luckyly, you won’t have any problem with the replacement 😉 And then, you’re going to see, you are not going to make only tatins with that set. Or at least, I use it much more 😉

I save the recipe for dad and mum, I’ll be at home soon, and they’ll be grateful this grill season 😉

Last July we made this at my parents home, BBQ day, and you can’t imagine how much they love the recipe!! I never should have said I found it here, should say it was mine, jajajaja. They love grill meat, and they never thought about using their loved quail in a grill!!

Perhaps I have to give an oportunity to this, when I was a kid I loved it, and the glazed one you have seems delicious!! 🙂
